College Students Described By "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"

College just got a little sweeter.

For many, college is a time of whimsy and wonder and weirdness, which basically sums up the entire plot of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." (Shoutout to Roald Dahl for writing the original book and making us all wish we had a chocolate river!) Although most college campuses will never be graced with the wonder that is actor Johnny Depp (sigh), you will likely stumble upon classmates who act like the characters in Tim Burton's whimsical comedy.


1. The Girl with No Chill

Every campus has a Violet Beauregarde: over-competitive, aggressive and, honestly, too tense. She's serious about everything: her gymnastics, her studies, you name it. Violet comes across as super abrasive, but deep down, she really is just feeling a little blue (I'm sorry, I couldn't resist).


2. The Over-Eager Freshman

Then there's the Charlie Bucket. He's just so excited to be a college kid. He's toured your campus four times, and he wears university apparel nearly every day.


3. The Kid Who's Always Eating

You see him in the dining halls. You see him by the vending machines. When he's in class, the Augustus Gloop of your campus is pulling snack after snack from his book bag. You can't tell if he's a stress-eater or on a high-calorie diet.


4. The Die-Hard Gamer

You may go days without seeing your campus' Mike Teavee, but you always know where he is. He's in his room, attempting to beat his newest game. You can hear him raging on the other side of the wall, which lets you know he's still alive.


5. The Senior Who Can't Even

Willy Wonka has been there and done that. Although he has some wild times with his close friends, he's slowly realizing that the golden years are nearly behind him. It's time to grow up and move on with life. Before he leaves his campus, however, he wants to leave a legacy. Now, if only he could find a protege to take under his wing...


6. The Kid Whose Parents Are Paying for Everything

Veruca Salt has her parents wrapped around her perfectly manicured fingers. She has an apartment near campus, a sports car to match her eyes, and a wardrobe full of outfits for every occasion. Let's not forget she has her tuition and fees paid, as well as a weekly allowance to go shopping or grab coffee.


7. The Short Girl with the Bad Spray-Tan

When you see the Oompa Loompas of your campus, you won't forget it. Their orange skin usually lingers into the cold, winter months.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
